Chapter 202 - Inner Turmoil
Su Tong happily picked out clothes for Ning Dong while he sat at the side to wait for her. His heart was in turmoil at this moment. In his eyes, the world had changed colors completely. If it had been gray before, it was completely black now.
His life, in a short span of more than ten years, was magnificent and filled with ups and downs.
Before the age of six, his father was his favorite person in the world. Although his father was not home very often, every time his father returned, his father would bring him new toys and delicious food. At that time, he thought he was the happiest child in the world.
The happiness came to a screeching halt when he was six years old. He remembered his mother bringing him to an unfamiliar but beautiful mansion. He remembered the atmosphere was heavy as the adults around him quarreled. It was then he learned that his father was not his father alone and that he had a sister who was ten years older than him. He also learned he was an illegitimate child; at that time, he did not know what it meant, but he knew it was a disgraceful thing. At that time, he felt like a rabbit in the midst of a pack of wolves. He was so afraid that he wished he could disappear.
He truly did not intentionally push that woman. If he had not done that, he would have a younger brother now. His younger brother would probably be called Ning Qiu, the legitimate son of the Ning family. This matter had become his inner demon, tormenting him over the years.
After moving into the mansion, his father was no longer the father he used to know. His father never smiled at him again. His father no longer brought him new toys or delicious food.
Although he had become the Young Master of the Ning family and had the servants attending to his needs, his father never looked at him again. His father gave his love to his sister who had left.
Ning Dong thought that since his mother had achieved her goal, that would be the end of it. Inwardly, he blamed his mother. Why did his mother have to come to the mansion? It was not the life he wanted at all. He wanted the life he had before he reached the age of six. At that time, he had his father.
It was not until his nominal sister appeared again that he understood his father punishing him and his mother to atone for his sins toward his sister and his sister's mother.
His father was thoroughly irresponsible, but his mother loved him.
He could not deny that the identity of the Young Master of the Ning family had brought him many benefits. However, his heart had grown cold and numb over the years.
When his sister, Ning Xia, appeared again, his fighting spirit was reignited. He had suffered in the family for so many years; he would not allow his father to hand everything to his sister. He would not allow it! The Ning family could only be his. For the sake of the happiness and humanity he had to bury for the past ten years, the Ning family had to be his!
He made friends with people who were useful to him, making preparations for the future. He was well aware of Ye Cheng's goal. It was not a bad thing to use each other. Ye Cheng treated him like a child to be manipulated at will so he took advantage of the situation to widen his network and to build his foundation.
He tested the water by arranging for his father to meet with an accident. No one suspected anything; up until now, no one suspected that it was not an accident at all. Unfortunately, Ning Zhe was lucky and did not die.
He quickly came up with a new plan. Even if his father did not die, he would find a way to solve the problem. During that process, he discovered a shocking secret.
Before Ye Cheng mustered up the courage to do the DNA test, he had already gotten the results.
Ye Cheng was timid when it came to his family while Mu Chen took precaution after precaution, preparing for a rainy day.
Only he, Ning Dong, did not let the truth affect his feelings.
